About this pro

I have an imaginative and impressive range with regard to style and output. I am (truly) equally comfortable and competent designing a brochure for a corporate client as I am creating whimsically cartoonish characters for a children's animation property.
I love the never-ending variety! And I get to put my imagination to the test every day. The diversity of clients and projects mingled with my passion for following the creative impulse down uncharted paths yields some really eye-catching and unique products.

Working with Matt Geiler on my PosiKids Book Series was a wonderful and patient collaboration. As a first time author I made many mistakes that had to be corrected and Matt was so patient. The creativity and beautiful illustrations that Matt merged with my stories, were a delight for me and the reaction I get when people look at the covers of my books is the best compliment I could share. Hoping to work with Matt again on a second series!

Matt is super amazingly talented! A one stop shop, he brought my animated project to life in so many ways. He was a delight to work with and every suggestion I brought to the table, he'd run with it and make it even more spectacular. I'm so pleased with how my project turned out. I highly recommend him!

I am thrilled with the finished product that Matt designed for me, and I'm so excited to use it to promote myself. I had sent him some concepts that I liked, to use as a jumping off point, and the results were extraordinary. He captured the spunk and energy that I wanted, and made the product so visually exciting and appealing. It's so much better than what I had in my head. I will definitely use him again, and highly recommend him to anyone.

Matt's logos and graphic designs have definitely helped my business grow. He worked with me to get the image I needed and I will definitely be using his services again.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Matt! Not only is he an extremely talented artist, who came up with great out of the box ideas for our film poster but he didn't stop working on it until all of the team where 100% happy with it and we have a lot of people in our team True dedication. Matt was easy to get hold of and very patient. He's very easy to communicate with and took all of our notes on board. We are extremely happy with the finished poster and will certainly be using him again. Thanks Matt!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My normal hourly rate is $50/hr. My rate is $65/hr if the job is a quick turnaround (client needs finished product in 1-5 days). However, if the project is so enormous in scope that hourly pricing becomes cost-prohibitive for a client's budget, I am willing to do a flat rate that is commensurate with the work and satisfies the customer's budgetary constraints. Let's have a conversation about it!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Absolutely. For me, the learning is ongoing because tastes, styles, and technology are always evolving and changing. So I'm always doing something to stay in step, whether it's a painting and illustration techniques class to keep my drawing skills sharp, stocking up on the latest design books, or learning new animation software. I want to have as diverse an array of skills at my disposal as possible, so learning and continuing to educate myself is of paramount importance.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I came into it almost as a matter of course. I've been drawing and painting since I was two years old. In grade school, a friend's mom asked me to draw some cartoon illustrations for an educational newsletter her company was printing to ship to schools statewide and I got paid $200 for the job. That was the first time I realized that doing something I loved and enjoyed so much could also be a job. Ever since then it seems I've always had requests like that. And the world is full of people who need a little illustration or design help, so I have always just thought of myself as someone who's able to help people out when they need artwork or something designed.
